It would not be very likely that there would be a lift, because the preponderance of the weight is downward, and it would not be very likely that the wheel would be lifted up from the track. A number of years ago a class of engines were much in favor in France that had enormous drivingwheels, the axle of which was located right behind the fire-box, and one road built its own engines and counterbalanced them to the full extent. In several cases they ran off, and it was directly traced to the excessive counterbalancing of their reciprocating parts, causing the wheel to have less adhesion, and to have a tendency to leave the track, if other circumstances were favorable. They reduced the weight and had no more trouble, and that was what partly caused us to reduce the weight of the larger driving-wheels. Mb. Oberlin Smith: I would like to ask Mr. Vogt if he thinks there is any particular advantage in an engine, which he may have seen in the American Machinint some time ago, known as the Shaw locomotive. Is it considered by railroad engineers a novel and valuable invention Mr. Vogt: It is almost the same as the Wells engine, of which Mr. Porter spoke. The idea is almost the same, but carried out in a slightly different manner. I think the construction is a very doubtful one. I dont think that it will ever prove to be a very strong construction. It is, no doubt, a very convenient way of counterbalancing everything, but it will never be an economical engine. You have two cylinders and a considerable condensing surface, and it is certainly better to have one cylinder. I am much afraid it is not going to be a very great success.
